YOGI BEAR (2010)



My score 3/5

A talking bear with a brain full of ideas of food. But not the normal bear food. For foods which humans bring in their picnic baskets!! And he is all set up to grab them with his buddy Boo Boo.
This bear is none other than the ‘Yogi Bear’, who lives in the JellyStone park reserve. And he is about to steal more food.

Most critics are not in favor of ‘Yogi Bear’. But me the opposite. Maybe I was in a jolly good mood when I watched it. All I wanted was to watch a movie, get some laughs and feel light. And that’s what ‘Yogi Bear’ has precisely delivered. It has the total Disney feeling to it. Coming from Warner Brothers it was a little different. And it’s not a totally animated movie with talking animals. It is part animation and part live action. And it blend so well that you will totally forget their origins after some time. 


 If you ask me if this movie is for kids I’d say yes. And if you ask me why I like it then I’d say that we have a kid in all of us. And that kid never grows old and ‘Yogi Bear’ would feed that kid within us. Like I said before there is no harm done by watching it. It can make even the hardest of adults laugh for sure. It’s not rocket science. Its pure entertainment. 


Talking about the plot it’s not a wonder but it’s creative. A wild bear lives in a park steal food from the visitors. Meanwhile a lady reporter comes in to do a documentary on him which ultimately the park ranger falls in love with. And the wicked mayor of the city wants to sell the park off in order to cover the damages to the city budget and get a fat reelection. And the Bear, Park Ranger and the Reporter is compelled to work together in order to fight the common enemy. 


The Bear character is super. He is funny no doubt and someone that you might really wanna get to know in person. Pain in the butt most of the time I must warn! The other characters including the Yogi’s only animal friend Boo Boo is quite interesting as well. You don’t really need good character development in order for light movies like this to succeed. It’s a matter of cool performance and some funny dialogues. Even the bad guys sound funny in their own nature. Kinda cool!

You can watch this with the whole family around. That’s one rare movie now these days is it? ha ha. Enjoy!!
